Yes, I know you don't necessarily associate Whole Foods and Slickdeals, but I actually live a few blocks away from one(in the same shopping center as a CVS, lol), and I frequently stop in on the way back from the gym. No, they don't double coupons, and you usually can't get the outrageous deals that you can get at CVS or a conventional supermarket for that matter, but you can frequently get decent deals, not to mention lots of free samples And their '365' house brand is usually comparably priced to Trader Joe's, and cheaper than a comparable supermarket item. And maybe it's the economy, but I have noticed them getting considerably cheaper on some advertised items as of late.

Sales for Whole Foods stores are regional, although they seem to have some national deals on grocery items(canned and packaged foods). Sales tend to run on 2 and 4 week cycles, and new cycles tend to start on Wednesdays. They also tend to have regional sales, that run on the weekends or may also run on 2 week cycles(the "Madness" sales in the Northeast) that tend to feature regional deals like produce, meat, prepared food, bakery etc.

Your best bet to find out what's on sale at your local store, is to go to your store's website, which is located at www.wholefoodsmarket.com. Enter your zip code up top, and pick your store. In addition to the sales circular, there is often a calendar of store events, a twitter feed or facebook page.
One aspect of Whole Foods is that the stores tend to have a lot more "events" than a conventional supermarket. These can be promotions, contests,
sampling events, cooking classes. If your store calendar isn't posted online, there is always one at the store entrance. And while many of these promos are not worth a separate trip(though I have gotten some nice sample packs at times), if you are going to the store anyway, why not go when they are giving something away?

Whole Foods also distributes a coupon book in store, called "The Whole Deal". These are store coupons and are will NOT scan at other retailers, despite the bar codes. You should be able to combine them with a manufacturer coupon, but YMMV.

There's a pretty decent selection here (different varieties), maybe four rows of shelves, and I'd say most are priced at $2.99 here. Poster above said the samosas with peas was $2.69 for him, but I'm pretty sure they were $2.99 here....so regional pricing does take effect.

What are the $2.99 appetizers? The only appetizers that I could find were the spinach phyllo dough ones. Yum, but they were $5.99.

The pot stickers (pork and veggies) are $2.99 and they are so yummy (better than the Ling-Ling, IMHO)
The pot stickers (veggies) are $3.99. I did not buy this one.
The egg rolls are $3.99, I haven't tried yet.

y'all are making me ... I was across the street from WF w/ granny and the kids for lunch. I can't believe I didn't swing by for this (and I had 45min on the meter still ). Hopefully we'll find some good veggie options at my 3 stores.

Sunspire organic fair trade 42% cacao semi-sweet baking chips, $3.50
-1/1 wf whole deal q
- 1/1 ip (mambo sprouts)
= $1.50 --- WOOT! this is a fabulous price as they are usually $6.39/bag at my WF and these are great for the kiddos I bake for whom have anaphylactic allergies to dairy, eggs, nuts, and tree nuts. (Note: they do contain soy.)

I wish I had known about the chips ahead of time, I would have fired up my ancient laptop so I could have bought more bags...hth someone

There are 2 in the package. I will try the Chocolate Lava Cake(3.99) tomorrow and report back!

And if you are interested in the $3 Whole Planet calendar, there is a list of coupons here(on the right side). The coupons seem slightly better than the ones typically found in their coupon circulars. I would guess at least they will have longer expirations.

Black Friday specials for Northeast only(Maine, MA, RI and Greater Hartford, CT stores), this won't apply to other regions but they may have their own specials.Anyway, if you still want turkey the day after Thanksgiving , they have an incredible deal on Turkey Wings and Drumsticks

I know I'm late in posting these deals (as they end 11/13 here), but maybe they will start for some SD'ers tomorrow:
